Little Ocean 🌊

#pixelart #referencesheet

A pixel art character sheet for my character "Little Ocean" (I don't have a real name for them yet) This artwork is limited to a 4-color bluish-tint palette. The main poses are the front and back pose, and the portraits on the right have neutral (top) and judgy (bottom) facial expressions. In between the poses, there's a stuffed toy keychain known as a "fuggler" which inspired most of their design.

First two days go to @hamguinn.bsky.social & @rikoclon.bsky.social (both amazing artists themselves)

Interesting, this post on BSky has seen more engagement than over on Twitter. I wonder if the turning point is arriving...

Introducing a new #plugin for #GBStudio- Talking Actors and Dialogue Prompt Actors!

It's great for adding flair to visual novels and cutscenes. Talking Actors animate when dialogue is being written, and Dialogue Prompt Actors animate when dialogue is waiting for a button press.

drew these letters today ⚡️

pixel art illustration of Mega Raichu Y and Mega Raichu X, respectively. Mega Raichu Y on the left is striking an active pose while balancing on their big tail, seemingly about to strike. Mega Raichu X on the right seems to be having a great time daydreaming.
